I live in NW Oregon, which is similar to Western Washington. Temperate, borders rainforest ranges, but is in the valley system, so decent humidity. I noticed your clone is much lighter orange, which makes me wonder if either of us have a color sport. I bought mine the year Weeks introduced it to the market. I have a love-hate relationship with it. Its an amazing garden performer, but the growth habit is not good (has no real outline at all) and the aging blooms are really, really ugly.
